We recommend you get your ingredients ready before you start cooking. Once you're ready, here are the steps to making this delicious recipe

How to Make

  • Step 1: Shells ... Cook the pasta shells according to package directions in a large pot of plenty of salted water. Remove from the heat, drain, rinse with cold water; and, let them cool on a sheet tray. You want them al dente, firm; but, cooked through.

  • Step 2: Dressing ... Use any recipe you like. There are many great recipes for Greek Salad Dressings here on RecipeZazz; but, use your favorite recipe. There are also quite a few 'store brands' which are very good.

  • Step 3: Salad ... In a large bowl, add all the tomatoes, artichokes, cucumber, onion, and olives, and mix well. Add the romaine and spinach and toss to combine. The last thing you want to add is the Feta and dressing; and, lightly toss. Just enough to combine all the ingredients.

  • Step 4: Shells ... Using a tablespoon, stuff the shells - and make sure to really fill them. Simply cover with plastic and chill for 1-2 hours. They can be made 6-8 hours in advance; but, keep them covered well. You do not want the pasta to dry out.

  • Step 5: Serve ... Serve the shells on a platter, with a little extra dressing in the middle of the platter. Sprinkle with parmesan, parsley, and basil. ENJOY!
